I used to multiply the font size by 1.5 to get the line height. I've been taught it like so and it works just fine for my eyes 99% of the time but I don't really know the science behind it!
@@tvdev4391 150% is often okay for body text. But you'll likely find that's too much separation for large headings. Something like 110% or 120% is usually better for headings.
Hey Jesse recently discovered your channel. Thank you for making your videos short, easy to follow and full of energy! Transitioning from print to digital and you’d be shocked how many boring videos there are out there
Other tips on typography I have heard are try and match type with similar X heights. I am also a very big fan of high contrast, typography, (serif vs non serif)
Multiple or Divide by 1.618 to get a "perfect" mathematical distance, size or layout. Search for how to use golden ratio in design on google. There is also the "Golden Square" and "Golden Circle" Its supposedly found that in nature for example a nautallius shell, 🐚 the size of each section is 1.618xxxxxxxx times larger than the last. Also in ancient architecture this is found to be the case.
For those wondering the golden ratio number, it's 1.618

Also, never letterspace/track out lowercase type.
Good advice!! thanks
